PREVIOUSLY: Today we are launching a one-day contest where you can win a $50 Target gift card AND EVERYONEwho enters will get 100 Swagbucks.

What’s Swagbucks? It’s a cool site that I use daily to rack up “swagbucks” that I redeem for gift cards to Amazon and Starbucks (among dozens of others). The site randomly awards swagbucks for your regular Internet searches, so it’s like getting rewarded for your normal Internet surfing. Sweet!

Here’s how to enter to win:

1. Join Swagbucks with special code BARGAINBABE70. You get 30 Swagbucks for joining, and with the code you’ll get 70 more! Make sure you use this code during the signing up process as you cannot enter it later. To enter the special code, click the text that reads “I have a sign up code” as you are initially signing up.

2. Leave a comment that you’ve joined Swagbucks. Note, only new Swagbucks accounts using the BARGAINBABE70 code will be eligible to win this prize.

3. Start using the site to rack up swagbucks every time you go online.

I took your advice and signed up for Swagbucks but it would not accept the special code (BARGAINBABE70) even though I entered where you directed me to enter the code…so thinking there was another place to do it, I continued the profile creation and came up with zippity…disappointing to be sure. Any thoughts? I love your site and the giveaways, the tips, the fun but this is the first time I have had trouble…will be hoping you can help me out a bit further. Thanks. Btw, will this comment get me into the Target GC contest or do I need to do something diifferent or something else? Please advise if you can and will. Thanks!

@Gene Y. SOrry to hear you are having trouble with the special code BARGAINBABE70. I’ve emailed my contact at Swagbucks to see what’s going on, and I’ve asked other readers who commented that they were able to join if the code worked for them.

Hang tight until we figure this out – and THANKS for your patience. Let’s hope we can resolve this very quickly.
